Report back from Vestas meeting tonight in Portsmouth

I have tonight returned from a meeting in Portsmouth at which I learntof your courageous action in attempting to prevent the removal of vitalmachinery from your plant by occupying the Vesta factory.

Further to the message of support you have already received from ourLeader, Caroline Lucas, On behalf of the Green Party, I offer our fullsupport for your action. The closure of this facility is not an option,and a way must be found to keep it open. Your direct action isproportional and appropriate to the circumstances.

We call upon all workers on the Island and in Portsmouth and Southamptontransport industries not to co-operate with any moves to relocateequipment and materials from the Vesta factory.

Please let us know what further action we may take to support you.
